    Honest, non-troll, question - If you don't like it, why do you eat it?

    Also, many people who wouldn't necessarily eat cottage cheese on its own use it frequently in recipes to substitute for higher fat items. It brings down the fat and raises the protein in those recipes.

    Does anyone have any suggestions as what to do with cottage cheese? I usually mix it with nuts or berries but other than that i have no other method of eating it... And i find that alone it tastes pretty bland :S suggestions?

    SO many ideas on this list!

    I used to use it as a substitute for sour cream. Salad with any veggies you like, then top it off with salsa and cottage cheese...use it as a filling in omelettes with fresh veggies...Cinnamon and cut up apples (used to eat that for breakfast all the time in college), stir in lemon pepper and add to quinoa with some tomatoes...

    Possibilities are endless. I love cottage cheese.

    I love it mixed with creamy peanut butter. It's a great high-protein snack and it tastes surprisingly good!

    I like mixing it with wilted spinach and tuna. Lovely on a baked potato or on crisp breads.

    Love the ideas on this thread!!

    I love cottage cheese spicy!! Had it coriander chutney and tomato yesterday. Love it simply with chives, or black pepper. Works great with chopped strawberries and a touch of honey, or blueberries and honey. And have had it with muesli

    Definitely going to try it with pesto and love the spinach and tuna idea as well as the beetroot one.

    Blend it up really good and put it in a smoothie! I made a smoothie that tasted EXACTLY like strawberry cheesecake! It was amazing.
